In full: List of non-domestic RHI claimants published today

After months of delay, the Department of the Economy has today published the names of most claimants under the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme.

There is no suggestion that any of those on the list are in breach of either the spirit or the letter of the controversial scheme.

However, the department has taken the view that because so much public money is involved that the names should be made public.

The department said that the list includes the names of all limited companies and limited liability partnerships that have received support payments under the scheme above a threshold of £5,000, for the period from the opening of the scheme in 2012 to 28 February 2017.

The department said that “work is progressing on a separate list which will contain the names of the individuals who are in receipt of payments of £5,000 or more under the non-domestic scheme” and that it intended to publish that list “in the next few weeks once it has considered the individual cases in line with the content of the High Court judgement”.
